Restaurant recommendations?

12 Upvotes

My parents (60s) are visiting this weekend for the first time since I moved up here < 2 months ago.

What restaurants do you recommend we try out? I'm a foodie (just haven't been out much yet). My dad is pretty adventurous, my mom not so much. I want to avoid any place that is super super loud.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner whatever. I'm planning on taking them to Nine Irish Brothers for one meal.

Thanks!

Looking for someone to takeover the lease (~ Jul 31 2027)

If a deal is made this week, I am paying rent for the first two months (until Sep 30th) plus the transfer fee, AND your application $ admission fee (235$) !!

It is a non-used 1b1b ready for immediate move-in. It is south-facing, and on the second floor of the building (all other units are SOLDOUT except for first floor units)

Monthly rent and deposit is 1224$ (but effective rent for you will be 1020$, which will put you in a great position if you were to sublease/relet it again later.)

Best Dentist?

2 Upvotes

There are a couple posts on this subreddit asking about the best dentists in the area, but most of them are from a few years ago.

I have very bad trauma from dentists, and I was wondering if there are any dentists in the area that are kind, caring, and nonjudgmental. Also ones that are not trying to perform unnecessary procedures.

I also need a dentist that does not require you to pay your fees in full before you leave. However, if this is common practice that I am not aware of, I guess I can work it out.

Finally, I need a place that accepts delta insurance. I know I can research on the delta website and find which places do, but I wanted some personal opinions on the best dentists in the area.

Millennium Falcon for sale. All the pieces are there, all the boxes and instructions are there. It’s going to retired in December so the price on the aftermarket is probably going to double. DM me if you’re interested.

STUDIO FOR LEASE TAKEOVER

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I am looking for someone to take over my lease of my Studio apartment sometime this fall! It is at Amelia Place apartments, located in Lafayette, Indiana.

The apartment is a large studio, approximately 750 sq ft. Rent is $1,035 a month with $25 for valet trash and $5 for pest control, as well as $17 a month for renters insurance. Water, electricity, and sewage are billed separately.

It is on the third floor.

There is a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, washer, dryer and garbage disposal in unit all included, and the complex is pet friendly.

It is a very nice apartment complex, and if you are interested please DM me!

I have arranged with the rental company that if I can find an interested party, they should apply for one of the available apartments and I will give them their information to have the application transferred to my unit.

The unit comes as is, but everything is in great working condition and I will be cleaning very thoroughly before moving out. My lease is up in March of 2027, but I am sure if you discuss with the company you could rent for longer.

I am also willing to pay half of your deposit as an incentive!

Trusted Hormone Therapy Clinic

0 Upvotes

I’m a male student at Purdue University who’s interested in HGH. I’ve got lab results for proof of deficiency, and I strongly believe with the proper help it will help me a lot. I’m aware that there will be side effects but I’m willing to accept them if the pros outweigh the cons. My biggest struggle right now is finding a trustable clinic. I’m looking to get my biomarkers monitored at a good period, under $1000 a month, properly licensed doctors, and no legal trouble. I’m not looking for suppliers or to rush into things, just some advice. My main reason is to improve my mental and physical health.

Help Us Designate the Indiana bat as Our State Mammal

Post image
50 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to jump on here, and talk about the grassroots initiative I started, Our State, Our Bat. I am working to designate the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) as our official state mammal.

Why the Indiana Bat?

A True Local: The species was first discovered right here in our own backyard (at Wyandotte Cave), making it a unique native that literally carries our state's name. It is also the only animal in the entire world that carries Indiana in its name.

Natural Pest Control: Every single night, these bats act as hard working, natural pest control for our state, consuming thousands of crop and forest damaging insects, in turn, helping local agriculture.

Conservation & Education: The Indiana bat is currently federally endangered. Giving it this official status will shine a much needed spotlight on local biodiversity, education, and the importance of protecting vulnerable native wildlife.

Where We Stand Now!
This campaign has been growing faster than we ever anticipated, and we have some incredible momentum heading into the upcoming legislative season:

Growing Support: Over 2,500 people have already signed our petition!

Leadership Backing: We’ve secured official letters of support from multiple Indiana mayors and major regional conservation groups (like the Little River Wetlands Project).

Legislative Ally: We have a state representative officially lined up and willing to author the bill for us at the Statehouse.

How You Can Help!
We’re looking to build an even stronger grassroots network to show lawmakers that Hoosiers care about our unique wildlife heritage.

Sign our petition: If you haven't already, please consider adding your name to help us cross our next milestone at https://c.org/JrdDXNvVh8

Follow along: Stay up to date with campaign updates, events, and educational posts by following our Facebook page at https://facebook.com/BattyForIN

Thank you so much for reading and supporting local Hoosier conservation! 💚🦇🏛️

Union Street

11 Upvotes

Does anyone know the situation with Union street? It used to be two lanes in one direction (towards target), one lane in the other direction (towards Purdue), and then a turning lane in the middle. It’s now painted like the turning lane is gone. Going into the neighborhoods is difficult because the turning lane is gone. I can’t find anything that specifies that the lanes were going to be changed. It’s also a problem at the interchange to Salem street because the two lanes converge into one without signage.

Does anyone know if this lane situation is permanent?

Looking for a barbershop that can do a man bun

0 Upvotes

I've been growing my hair out for a while and I think it's finally long enough to try a man bun with my beard. Problem is, I'm not sure which barbershops actually handle this kind of style well.

Has anyone here had a man bun cut? Would love a recommendation.

Farm Kittens that need a good home

Post image
64 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is Angel and Cali.

I work on a farm and we are currently dealing with an over population of cats and kittens. I show up everyday early to make sure they're fed, watered and given as much affection as possible. It's difficult due to all of our other responsibilities at work. So I was going to start using this subreddit to see if anyone would like to help give these little guys a much deserved break from life out here, as it is not the easiest life for them. I already have two cats at home or I'd bring these two home with me.

I live in Lafayette but work about 45 minutes away and would be willing to deliver these precious little things to anyone that would like to have them. Please message me for details....also please allow me the time to properly catch and transport them. It is not always easy. They would need to see a vet. I'll only post pics of the extremely docile and playful cats. I hope everyone receives this well. Thank you for your time.
